Arrowmen :
1. Winter Banquet is December 3rd at Camp Davy Crockett, we need scouts to come and help with setting up the lodge Banquet Saturday at 2pm, Randy will be cooking brisket and some casserole fixings for the helpers, if they’re wanting to then the helpers can spend the night in staff cabins and help/attend the council Banquet the next day on the 4th as well! We are in need of all the hands we can get hence why we’ve extended the invite to the troop.
2. On December 11th at the scout office from 2:00pm – 4:00pm the lodge will be having a Ceremonies Training Seminar. This training is for all arrowmen who are interested in being a part of the Ceremony or even just learning more about the ceremonies. We’ll be talking about the importance of the Ceremony and the messages behind them as well as reading over the characters parts. There will be snacks and refreshments for those attending!
3. Lastly, on December 15th is when we will be having our next Chapter meeting. We’re looking to fill key leadership roles in our chapter, these roles are usually filled by arrowmen who show leadership skills throughout their scouting career and even arrowmen who are looking to build their leadership skills! If you want to help your troop then come find out some ways you can and join us at our chapter meeting on December 15th here at the Colonial Heights Presbyterian Church!
